Translation of the article

For the first time the King and Silvia attend something with their childrens partners-
- This is a statement from the King, now they are accepted, says a friend close to the family.
It has never happened before, the king and queen at a official event together with their childrens partners.
But last night it came true at the castle ruins in Borgholm, Öland
On stage GES, Fist arrivers, 10 minutes in to the concert was the King and Queen, then came Victoria with her boyfriend Daniel Westling.
Princess Lilian sat on a chair and behind her was Prince Carl Philip and his girlfriend Emma Pernald, And there was also Princess Madeleine with her boyfriend Jonas Bergström.
Carl Philips Emma had her camera with her and took many pictures of the concert.
When Victoria celebrated her 26th birthday earlier this week at Idrottsplatsen at Borgholm was Daniel not welcomed. - The king felt it was not appropriate, a friend to the family tells.

- to let them join the family at the concert was a statement from the King
The friend ends with
- He wanted in this way tell that his childre's partners can join in at official events here on.

 

[Gita]

Where on Öland were these photos taken? Were the Royal Family and their children’s partners on some sort of day trip?

 

[Josefine]

They were at a concert at the castle ruin at Borgholm, Öland.

 

[Gita]

I think it is great that the Royal children's partners have been invited along to spend time on Öland.

I wonder if Daniel, Emma and Jonas will be invited to attend Queen Silvia's 60th Birthday celebration this year in December? :flower:

I would say that they will come to the private part of the party, and "yes" would also include that Jonas is still together with "our" erratic Madeleine

For me the thing with Victoria, Daniel II and her parents turns really weird now. For everyone it´s obvious that they are together ( Indirectly Victoria admitted it also, when she said, that´s it´s really hard for Daniel to stand the limelight...So why would she say that, if he´s just a friend), and Elisabeth Tarras Wahlberg admitted it also in a way, when she said, that Daniel didn´t feel lonley, when he had to stay at Solliden at the birtday celebrations). And now Daniel is together with the Royal couple at an inoffical occassion, but where they can be photographed all the time. Wouldn´t it be easier and nicer, if Daniel would have been at least at the birthday celebrations, all other friends of Victoria were also there! I don´t want him to come to state visits, and I don´t expect public kisses....but i think it´s overacted that it´s counted as an engagement, when he appears with Victoria at an official event.

Sainte Maxime, 04 08 2003.
Queen Silvia and king Carl Gustav of Sweden spend some days on french Riviera sailing the sea on their yacht and doing some shopping at the supermarket.

 

[Teresa]

I can't understand the article, but Queen Silvia looks great in the blue blouse and white trousers

 

[Yennie]

The article is about the way Queen Silvia dresses. The reporter thinks she dresses to "young" and that she should find some clothes suitable for her age.
And it also says that its against the protocol(?) to eat when wearing just a bathingsuit...

 

[Teresa]

I guess I and the reporter just don't agree on fashion

 

[Yennie]

haha, maybe =)
I think she looks ok.. for the occasion atleast. It was at a nightclub and imo that makes it ok to dress a little "cooler" than usual
